Got an Idea - Belasko - 12-27-2009 with a few posts discussing electric auger heads as an option I started looking into it. After looking at the icegater my father in law and I think we could actually make a similar device at a much reduced cost. Has anyone tried this before? If so how did it work out? Any thoughts would be appreciated. [signature] Re: [Belasko] Got an Idea - MMDon - 12-27-2009 I can't wait to see your invention! I love better (or cheaper) mouse traps! [signature] Re: [MMDon] Got an Idea - FishingSteve - 12-27-2009 I really think you could build one cheaper also. Good luck!

If it runs backwards just reverse the poles on the battery connection. [fishin] [signature]
